David Rovics/Attila the Stockbroker

The Leasowe pub, Leasowe (9th February 2007)

Reviewed by Ken Murphy

Those who braved a cold wet and miserable night on 9th February in Leasowe, were rewarded with a treat of what can only be described as a night of refreshing difference!

Two artists, David Rovics - an American singer songwriter and agitator - with his co conspirator these days, Attila the Stockbroker, entertained us with their individual brands of “system bashing”. David with his powerful lyrics, aimed mainly at the “New World Order” Bush, Blair, and anyone else who is steering the system. Attila with his hilarious parodies of modern times and of course, plenty of Blair, Bush and New Labour bashing to boot.

A great evening and two names to look out for in the future, although Attila has been around for some time now and so has David, but exposure for artists on the left of the system is rare indeed, so support if you can.

Their web sites are well worth a look, at www.davidrovics.com and www.myspace.com/attilastockbroker. Check them out, David has many tracks for free download, but asks if you like them to donate or buy an album.
